Rachel Maddow Is ‘Flattered’ By NRCC’s Keystone XL Parody Of Her

On her show last night, Rachel Maddow mocked the National Republican Campaign Committee’s attempt to use her to promote the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. In an online ad, the NRCC parodied a Maddow spot praising the public Hoover Dam with the argument that the private foreign pipeline was equivalent. “I am very flattered that I have been chosen for the rare and special honor of being the new face of the National Republican Campaign Committee,” Maddow said. “You guys nailed me. You got me exactly right!”
